CANADIAN PRESS COMMENTS.
The United States Senate Styled "a Caucu:
plrtncrafa

The United States Senate Styled "a Caucus
of Plutocrats.
TORONTO, ONT, January 26.-Referring
to the Washington fisheries legislation, the
Globe of to-day says: 'The United States
Senate, since it has became n caucus Of
plutocrats, has displayed little statesman
ship, and its decadence in the general
esteem will be furthered by its 'retaliatOry'
fisheries bill When no regular evidence
was before them, and with none in rebut-
tai of the statements of the angry fisher
men, the Senators of the United States
have brought Canada up for trial, pro-
nounced her guilty, and put a weapon for
her punishment into the Presidents
hands. The use of that weapon will injure
American trade at least as much as Cana
dion. Itdoes not lessen the contempt due
to the Senatorial Legislators. Their game,
in its diplomatic aspect, is the old one of
alarming Great Britain into bulldozing
Canada
The Mall says: "A retaliatory measure
has heen passed by the United States, and
as a result poor Canada is to suffer all the
frowns of the Republic if she persists in
enforcing her treaty rights. The Canadian
authorities simply require fishermen to
obey the Custom laws, such as all Ameri-
can vessels frequenting Canadian ports are
obliged to obey, and to report on entrance
and to clear regularly upon departure.
Only two seizures were made for the VIOLA
lation by Americans of the treaty by pur-
chasing bait. The Canadian Government

CHICAGO, January ga special dis
patch says that the police have under ar
rest in San Francisco a Canadian forger and
embezzler named Benjamin Hagemann,
who is wanted in Therold, Ont, To answer

mission Cealer of Toronto, out of Sl5, 600.
Hageman conducted the baronet's branch
office at Therold, small town on
the Welland canal, and, it is stated,
first began his peculations to carry a
number of wheat deals in which he became
involved. Finally when he got deep into
the mire, he appropriated the ca,h on
hand and crossed the border. He had,
however, forged and uttered number OF
fraudulent checks and notes and thus laid
himself liable TO extraditiOn.

trail for a month, and he succeeded in
leading them n merry chase from one side
of the continent to the othcr-from Jack
son City, Mich, TO San Francisco. where
he was finally bagged four or five days
ago. The Chief of the San Francisco De
tective Department is now holding him IN

SWALLOWED A SNAKE.
A Case That Has Caused u Sensation In a
Western Town.

Case That Has Caused u Sensation In q
Western Town.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, January 26.-A
special from Minnesota Junction says. The
case of three -year-old child of Charles
Gilman, of this place, which died recently,
has attracted considerable attention from
the fact that the little one expelled a
snake from its stomach previous to its
death. The child had suffered poor health
for long time and drOolcd continually,
expellug ycllowish flood, which
stained its clothing. One day the
child directed Mrs. Gilman's attention to
a small snake on the floor, which had evi-
IDENTIFY escaped from its mouth. The
reptile was about foot long, of brown
color. with yellow belly. Its eyes pro-
tuded from its head, and when molested it
would run out its tongue.
After being relieved of the Shiny occupant
of its stomach the child stopped dropping
but subsequently sickened and died. The
attending physician was of the opinion that
water had collected in the child's stomach,
after the snakes departure, and caused its
death. The bereaved parents recollet hav-
ing given the child drink offspring water
after dark, about year previous.

THE FOESOF GERMANY
A DEMAND THAT NIGHT RESULT IN GEN
ERAL DISARMAMENT.


LONDON, January 26.-lIenry labou-
chere, in published statement, says Il
do not believe in war. When people say
that war is inevitable it is precisely the
moment when there is little fear of its
breaking out. Even supposing Germany
were to call upon France to disarm, she
would reply that she asked nothing better,
for Germany would have TO do the same.
The result therefore, of the demand would
he that some sort OF modus rioadi would
be established. The difficulty of disarm-
ament, however, is that Germany has to he
in position TO hold her own against
France and Russia combined. The demand
would therefore lead Germany to making
q great effort to settle the Eastern Ques-
tion, and, this once settled, Austria, Rus
sia, Germany and France would possibly
agree TO a general plan Of disarmament, Tor
their existing ornaments are positively

WILL PASS THE HOUSE.
The Retaliatory Bill Approved by the state
Department.

Department.
WASHINGTON, January 26.-It is gener-
ally assumed that the House will promptly
pass the Senate Canadian Retaliation bill,
altho9 9gh perhaps in an amended form, and
it is understood that the President is not
opp0SA to the measure. 1t is the inten-
ton q Mr.. Belmont to bring the matter up
in tho House at the very first opportunity.
He wi u ask that the Committee on Foreign
Affairs be authorized to report at any time,
making it a privileged question. When the
subject reaches the Houses heated Debate is
expected. A number of members are prepar-
ed to speak on the matter. The leader in
the New York Sun to-day, under the cap
ton, I'm Time of Peace Prepare" which
calls upon Congress to no longer neglect
it's duty, is the topic of discussion in pub
lie places, and it has had the effect of start
ing many members to thinking that some
thing should be done at once looking to
the paper protection Of our harbOrs, rs
the fisheries dispute is in the nature of a
slumbering fire that may break forth at
any moment. Secretary Bayari declines
on the ground that Department Of State
had not been consulted when the bill was
prepared.
This mornings Post says: at is learn
ed from an authoritative source that the
bill is in perfect accord with the policy of
the Department, which was set forth in
Senator GorIhan's speech on the bill. The
Department is also said to favor the amend
ments that were offered by Mr.. German
prohibiting commerce between the two
countries by rail, as well as by water. 1t
is hoped by the State Department that the
bill will speedily bring about the desired
result by showing to the Canadian govern
ment that the United States Had determined
to make stand for her rights. The talk
about war is not regarded rs very serious"
Editorially the Post says: Several Of
the Republican Senators who champiOned
the bill for the protection of American fish
ermen spoke with much more heat and bit
terness than the occasion called for. They
became abSurdly bloOdthirsty. No war
between Great Britain and the United
States is wanted. Such calamity should
be prevented at all hazards by cOmbina-
tion of the wise and patient leaders of both
countries"
Although the simple announcement that
the Cabinet had considered the matter was
given TO the press last night, it is under
stood that all the members agreed rs to
the expedcncy of adopting retaliatOry
measures and that the discussion yesterday
afternoon related to the effect the Edmunds
bill would have on the Canadian authori-
ties There seemed to be no fear of war
among the members of the Cabinet and
they anticipated peaceful solution of the
nmpsIinn.

TRENTON, n. j., January 26.-The As
sembly met this morning at 1l:30 o'clock,
and at noon motion to adjourn, with a
view to going into joint meeting prevailed.
All the Republicans however, lmmedi-
ately left the Chamber so as to prevent
quorum on the joint session assembling.
Assemblyman Hudspeth was chosen to pre-
side. The roll was called and 3S mem
bers, all Democrats, were present. Sena-
tor Chattle Dem. and Speaker Baird, to-
gether with the two Labor men, remained
out with the Republicans. 1t takes IL
votes to constitute majority of the Legis-
lature. Mr.. Beckwith, following up the
United States statutes, called for the read
ing of the Record of yesterday Senatorial
vote in each house.
Senator Livingstone, on the part Of the
Senators present, arose ana stzted tfiut'
owing to the failure of the Senate to take
action there was no record to present from
that body. The record of the House was
then called for and was read by Clerk
Atkinson.
Mr.. NOonan afterwards moved that, as
the House separately had not agreed upon
a United States Senator, another ballot be
now taken. Mr. Throckmorton, whose
absence from the Democratic caucus yes
terday had given uneasiness, took the floor
and stated his belief that the time had not
yet arrived for ballot. He believed that
the law was clear in requiring that bal
lot should not be taken until two weeks
after the Legislative organization.
The motion, however, was carried-31 to
2-and nominations were called for.
Mr.. Beckwith, of Atlanta, i'll forcible
speech, nominated Ex-Governor Leon Alb
bett.
Mr.. ThrockmOrtOn nominated eX-Gover-
uor JOS ID. Bedle. He said he did not be-
lieye any one man owned the Democratic
nomination.
A ballot was then taken. OF the 80
Democrats present, 3S voted for Albeit.
Mr.. .ThrockmortOn alone voted for Bedle.
Chairman Hudspeth announced that 10
had received majority of the
votes OF the Legislature, and therefore,
there was no election.
The joint session thereupon adjourned
until noon to- morrow. The Republicans

FIRE AT MARTINS FERRY.
The Residence Of Henry Cartin Destroyed
Yesterday Morning.

The Residence of Henry Cartim Destroyed
Yesterday Morning.
About three o'clock yesterday morning
the residence of Mr.. Henry Cartn, in
Huey's addition, near the First ward
ward school building, was destroyed by
fire. Mr.. Cartin was absent from home,
working in New Castle, Pa, and Mrs.
Cartin and her two children, and little
girl named Krimkie, were in the house.
All of them were in one room on the sec
Ond floor, and at about the hour men
toned Miss Krimkie awakened and told
Mrs. Cartin that she smelled smoke. Mrs.
Cartin gotup aud went TO door leading to
the stairs, and upon opening it found that
avenue of escape entirely cut off by the
flames and the whole interior Of the kitch-
en- and pantry on fire. She closed the
door and gave an alarm, which soon
brought a few persons TO the scene, and
with great difficulty she managed to let
herself and two children down over one
story porch with the bed clothing. Not a
particle of anything was saved and Mrs.
Cartin, Miss Krimkie and the children bad
no clothing except that worn when in bed.
No general alarm was sounded, although
the Presbyterian Church bell was rung
and very few people knew of the fire till
yesterday. The building was two-story
frame, and no theory as to how it caught
fire can be formed, unless it was the work
of an incendiary, as there had been no fire
in the lower story after 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. Mrs. VIM. Bissit had her fur
niture stored in the house, intending to have
removed it to Benwood to-day. The build
ing was insured in the Columbia, of Day
ton, O., for 81 200, and the household
goods of Mrs Cartin in the German, Of
Freeport, Ill, for 800. The loss will
amount to nearly s., 900, as the house was
